lost power

We have been out of power for 4 days now. We are keeping the house about 65 degrees, with propane heaters, and running a few things off our jenerator during the day. The ice should melt off most of the trees today but it will probably stay on the ground for a while. We might even get more snow early next week.

ICE

What was suposed to be a snow storm seems to have turned to ice. It snowed over night but this morning it started raining ans sleeting. So, now we have a couple inches of snow with a thick layer of ice over it. In alot of places the ice doesn't break when you walk on it. We went sleding behind the Gater (our lawn machine) earlier before it started raining. Now we are just staying inside and keeping an eye on the weather.

Saturday

I think Saturday is my favorite day of the week. I can sleep late, get things done around the house, and just do things I don't have time for during the week. Today Papaw is coming out after lunch to work on my golf. Over the summer we made a driving range in the basement. The final moddel is made of carpet but it took tuns of trial and arror to get there. The golf ball hits the back wall(a piece of carpet with memory padding covering it) and then falls down to the carpet below. At least that is what happens when it works right, which is most of the time. Ally Jo went to the doctor this morning and she has a virus that will just have to run its course. Also, I am going to try to build a base for my new saw and get it mounted today.I would also like to put some permanent pictures around the edges of my blog page.

almost Friday

Isn't it funny how the shortest weeks seem like the longest. This week we missed Monday and part of Wednesday but it has felt so long. Anyway, I had piano lessons tonight and we have learned all of Wish Upon A star. I will be playing it in late March at a piano compitition that is held here in Georgetown every spring. We still have to polish it and learn to use the peddle. This will be the first time ever that I have used the damper peddle. It is the peddle on the piano that makes the notes sound like they are ecoing. I know that word probably isn't spelled right but if you read this blog enough you will find out that I can't spell very good. Anyway, I had better study for my little social studies quiz tomorrow.

staying busy

Today I basicly worked in the basement all day. I didn't actually stay down there all day but it is the only thing that I did worth noting. I finally got moving on my project of my work bench. I got 2 of the legs attached. I also practiced golf and worked on the driving range. We are just going to stay in tonight and eat left overs, watch football, and I am going to try to finish my homework. I want to get it finished because nathaniel is probably coming over tomorrow afternoon. So, if i don't do it tonight I might have to get up before 10 o-clock in the morning to do it! This is probably my longest post yet, so I'll end it now.

pictures

This is Pearl laying in the backyard.

These are the three calves that are at Mr. Halls farm. They are Deuce, Bunkhouse, and Lady Butterfinger.

four day weekend

No school tomorrow or Monday! They anounced about tomorrow just before we left school today. It was funny, everyone went nuts and they anounced it over and over. One time they even said "This is not a joke." Anyway, I promise pictures of the calves if not tonight then tomorrow. I don't have alot of homework for the weekend but a little. Pearl got her nails trimmed and a bath today. Stay warm tonight!

winter weather on the way

There is suposed to be snow and colder weather moving in tonight. We will probably have a snow day tomorrow. I am going to try to post some pictures of the calves later.

First Post

I am going to give blogging a try. I want to keep people informed about what is going on with me, my family, and my pets (including cows).
